I think it sounds very good but I don't regret buying the jp-08 as its always been my dream synth and this one doesn't do osc cross mod or anything like that. still, its a really deep synth and looks really amazing

This is where they are probably saving a *few* pennies, yes -- no tempcomp, no 2nd real VCO so it's probably derived from the Osc1 square or something, etc. Still a potential Juno 106 killer, I guess, and those are popular enough synths.

I'll admit, I personally am playing "wait and see" mode because, for me, the A6 and P6 really cover a *lot* of ground in the "analog poly" department. Man cannot Synth on Analog Subtractive alone. But I'm sure the instrument will sell well. Behringer seems to be staking a ground somewhere between the DSI synths and the Minilogues of the world. Doesn't sound bad at the moment.

also, variable detune in unison mode, and variable DCO drift, which goes a long way in 'warming up' a DCO synth.

btw, am I the only one who thinks these mfgrs purposefully limit the info about their new kit just to stir up moar buzz?

All those Deepmind videos are just musos saying "Wow", and "niiiice". Reminds me of TV news, where they find the dumbest gaptooth hick on the corner and let him sum up the story by saying "Goldang ah ain't NIVER seen nuthin lak 'iss here!"

Lots to love. The bass boost is a nice addition, the filter sounds great, 3 envelopes & 2 LFOs with lots of options... the effects are top notch... mod matrix with tons of options... CV input is a bit unexpected... wi-fi enabled so you can control whatever you want from a tablet, where the app seems pretty nifty with a track pad kind of thingie as an option... it's quite deep indeed The arpeggiator seems quite interesting as well.

the fact that there's parameter slop and detune, which are likely modulation destinations is very promising. the effects seem pretty amazing too. the trick with short envelopes for fm was great and i like that its not just vanilla saw/square tones

this is a combination of behringer maturing and offering an interesting take on the juno concept. its significant that they're rising to the challenge of our current global economic conditions. plus a 12 voice detuned bass line... wow
